Reports: King Amoah
Kumasi, Ashanti Region, Ghana – A wave of astonishment and jubilation swept through the New Jerusalem Chapel in Kumasi Ampayoo during their 31st All Night service as the congregation witnessed a truly remarkable event: the return to health of legendary Ghanaian gospel musician, Yaw Sarpong.
After months of battling a debilitating illness that confined him to bed, Sarpong was seen on stage, energized and actively leading the congregation in song and dance, a testament to what many believe is the miraculous healing power of Bishop Dr. J.Y. Adu.
The sight of Sarpong, who was reportedly bedridden just a few months prior, performing with such vitality stunned hundreds in attendance. Many had been following the singer’s health struggles, with reports in early 2024 indicating a worsening condition that prompted discussions of medical treatment abroad.
Sarpong, however, chose a different path, opting to seek healing at the New Jerusalem Chapel under the guidance of Bishop Adu.
News of his decision was met with hope and anticipation by Ghanaians who have long revered Sarpong’s music and have witnessed Bishop Adu’s reported miraculous healing abilities. His presence at the Chapel was seen as the culmination of his journey for a last resort of healing.
Sarpong’s condition was so concerning that it even attracted the attention of the Vice President, Dr. Bawumia, who extended financial assistance to support his care.
The silence surrounding Sarpong’s progress in recent months led to growing concerns among his fans and the general public. These concerns were dramatically quelled when he appeared on stage during the momentous 31st night service.
Accompanied by his aide, Maame Tiwaahin, Sarpong danced and sang with renewed vigour, leaving the congregation in awe. His vibrant performance confirmed what many had hoped for: Yaw Sarpong was on the path to a complete recovery.
The scene at the New Jerusalem Chapel has been hailed by many as a validation of their faith. Yaw Sarpong’s public display of health suggests that his time under the care of Bishop Adu has been exceptionally successful, and that he is now awaiting discharge through baptism at the hands of the man of God.
The media’s attempts to reach Bishop Dr. J Y Adu for comment on Sarpong’s current condition have so far been unsuccessful, with the Bishop remaining unavailable. However, the congregation’s joy and the images of a healthy and energetic Yaw Sarpong are speaking louder than any words could, a powerful testament to the events that unfolded at the New Jerusalem Chapel’s 31st All Night program.
The event has undoubtedly ignited a new wave of faith and hope in the power of belief and divine healing.
